Oh man, what an awful, awful movie. Please do not waste your money and see this in the theater. Definitely worth a rental at home, and just fast forward to two parts: (1) The incredible dancing of the Italian ballet dancer about midway through, and (2) Literally the end of the movie for the two dance routines.
The opening solo dance Channing Tatum does for (and all over) Selma Hayek is extremely hot, but also *very* cringey, and literally turns him into a hooker. The only time any of the old crew appears is in a 2 minute cameo via a constantly freezing Zoom call that apparently had less reception than two tin cans and a piece of string.
This was almost puzzlingly bad. Absolutely zero chemistry between literally anyone in this film other than the final dance; a plot that made absolutely NO sense; moronic dialogue; the 100% unnecessary narrative that Selma Hayek's 11-year-old daughter gives MULTIPLE times over sexual material (?!?!); a slew of little subplots that were meaningless and cluttered up the already ridiculous main plot; the world's weirdest, and again 100% unnecessary, INTERMISSION KITTEN POSTER thrown into the film for a moment (Soderbergh just laughing at this disaster of a movie??); an unhinged leading lady; and sadly, very, very little dancing.
What a terrible mess. Laughably bad, and such a disappointment. The Magic Mike trilogy went out not with a bang (other than the for-hire bangs), but with an unintelligible whisper.
